Organisations and individuals in southern Africa providing market research services SAMRA is often asked by manufacturers and other bodies to suggest organisations or individuals who might appropriately be asked to deal with certain problems. The Research Company Index is intended to address these queries. Any person who joins SAMRA has to give an undertaking to maintain certain standards in his work, standards which SAMRA itself has laid down. A Full Member of the Society (as opposed to an Associate Member) has to provide, in addition, evidence of a certain level of experience in Market Research. SAMRA Corporate Member companies have at least one Full Member. All entries included in the register of organisations number among their staff at least one person who has SAMRA membership. Please note that all entries in this register are paid for. The descriptions of the services available are supplied by the individual organisations or individuals concerned. All the listed companies and individuals are prepared to accept work from any client if their commitments permit it. Some are able to offer a wide service in all fields of research and others have built up their business in specialised fields. Addresses and telephone numbers were correct at the time of going to press. NOTE: Whilst this register increases year by year, SAMRA would like the register to be as fully representative of the industry as possible. Those wishing to secure a new listing in the next Yearbook are asked to contact the SAMRA secretariat. “ Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.

SMRC’s combination of services do not easily slot into conventional categories like ‘research company’, ‘marketing consultancy’, ‘management consultancy’, ‘CRM specialist’ or ‘Social and Development consultancy’. SMRC can deliver in any or all of these areas, according to a particular client’s needs. In all applications, however, the Company does claim exceptionally high delivery in the areas of client knowledge, experience, professionalism and dedication. While these are often-claimed qualities (to the extent of becoming a cliché in many business contexts), in SMRC’s case they are not the Company’s words but those of its clients. Marketing and Market Research The company offers a broad spectrum of research and consulting services designed to increase Clients marketing potential by providing expert assistance in understanding both consumer and business behaviour. These services range from basic survey research to specialised analysis, modelling and strategic planning. SMRC specialises in the “Process for Integrated Relationship Marketing,” which translates into the ability of a business to generate, maintain and increase the life expectancy of customer relationships, thus increasing their life time value. Within this context SMRC uses a novel and incisive approach to exploring the dynamics of consumer and business behaviour and generating insights from qualitative research, in a structured method of probing respondents, called “Active Listening”. The use of this technique permits SMRC to discover what a person really thinks, what he/she really means by what he/she says and to ascertain his/her real opinion. Focus Group Facilities SMRC has State-of-the-Art Focus Groups Rooms for hire on a per session basis. SMRC International Ltd SMRC International is an affiliate of SMRC Marketing Solutions (Pty) Ltd with a home office in Kigali Rwanda. While SMRC Marketing Solutions (Pty) Ltd focuses mostly on Southern Africa assignments; SMRC International has been strategically positioned to undertake regional, continental and global consulting assignments. It is also positioned to serve businesses, government and parastatal sectors with strategic marketing research and management solutions to enhance organizational performance, competitiveness and improve profitability. SMRC International, Kigali, Rwanda utilizes this capability and adapts it to lessons learned from development experiences geared to improving the lives of the poor in developing and emerging countries.
